Quote #10
"O Bob," said Maggie, smiling faintly. "You’re a very good friend to me. But I shouldn’t like to punish any one, even if they’d done me wrong - I’ve done wrong myself too often." (7.2.48)
Again, Maggie’s personal experience as the victim or as someone on the receiving end of blame and anger causes her to forgive other people anything that they might do to her. But there are some self-esteem issues here too. Maggie won’t blame others, but she is often willing to blame herself for everything that goes wrong around her. Maggie has a guilt complex.
